Needle Through Brick

In some ways, this film reminds me of the old fisherman, Santiago, in Hemingway’s final work, The Old Man and the Sea ... I’m one of those who believes Hemingway despair about the future [and longing the world to return to old ways, to regain lost toughness of individuals] is what drove him to take his life. 

The old ways might look like they are threatened, but that is a fallacy: old weaker ways might die; but stronger old ways always adapt, persevere and excel ... creation is a continual helical staircase that forces us to twist and climb in order to purify all existence ... as a Christian, I believe in a brand new heights of creation are enabled by the hope of Christ’s Resurrection; genuine lasting strength is a matter of finding the Dao, finding God’s will!

What I saw in this documentary, it’s what my Master, Dr. Yang Jwing Ming have been told me in the last 18 years, and it reinforce the responsibility of all of us to do our best in order to preserve this treasure. Thank you very much for this beautiful documentary, from my heart.

As a current practitioner of Mizongluohan Gongfu, this is a wonderful film. I’ve wanted to learn gongfu since I was 5, but the biggest problem for me was finding a teacher. Studios for karate and Taekwondo are everywhere, but gongfu studios are like one in a million. I think it’s a beautiful kind of martial arts, but unfortunately it’s not very widespread.
